Marlene Bradley, Jeff’s mother, remembers it all very well. Jeff, only 8 years old at the time, wanted so badly to join them. In about a year or so, he was soon riding with them on long training rides in a sport that 18 years later — in 1987 — would see him ride in the sport’s premier event, the Tour de France. Three years earlier, he was an alternate for the U.S. in the 1984 Olympics for the four-man team time trials event.

OfficialProgram 15¢ Davenport Municipal Stadium - vs - MADI IGH SCH FRIDAY, ( SEPTEMBER9, 1960 SPORTLITEFROM THE PAST - by Mike McCarthy Return with me, sports fans, to one of th e annual Davenport high school-St. Ambrose academy football games. The year is 1947; the date is Friday, Nov. 14. Sleet and hail shatter the arc lights on the west side of the field. Rain splatters the ground. Mud obscures un­ iform numbers. Top men for the Knights are Jack McKinney and Art Perry. McKinney has 13 touchdowns for 78 season points. Perry, tackle, is captain. Here comes the opening kickoff! Ambrose receives as Davenport kicks - a tremendous kick by Wade Oaks of the Blue Devils. Flumbling the ball at first, Knight scoring ace Jack McKinney picks it up. As blockers come from every side, McKinney races down the sideline to a touchdown. The Knights lead. The second kickoff is taken by Davenport. Slowly, but surely, they work their way into Knight territory. Finally they tie the score. Now the Imps kick to the Knights. Jack McKinney grabs the ball. There he goes - up the middle, with hard­ ly a hand laid on him. Another 90 yards! In the fourth quarter the Knights get possession of the ball. Receiving the ball from center Tom Britt, (Doc' McCabe hands the ball to 'Shorty' McKinney, who goes for his third touchdown. This time Jack runs 67 yards. With touchdowns by Jack Bush and Jim Hippler in this fourth quarter, this spectacular game ends with the final score, St. Ambrose 30, Davenport High 12.
